Can the Universal Consumption be

tor, has new treatment for consump-
ton!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the
latter gas carrying the former into
every part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at
effects-the cause remains undisturb-
ed.
What this cause is has been started
by perhaps the highest pulmonary
authority in the world, i. C., the
Brompton Hospital for Comsump-
tives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries off
from one-seventh to one-fifth of the
entire population of England!
DIR. Payne, M. B., M. R. C. p,
London, is authority for this state
ment.
The same or greater proportion
OF deaths obtain in America.
DIR. Payne says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all other
causes have seeds of this disease in
the system which only require some
irritant to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an emf
nent German authority, says that
consumption is caused by deficient
nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be dis
puted. The medical world recognizes
them. The uric acid is the irritant
in the blood that causes the develop
ment of the seeds which DR.. Brehmer
says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which
passes through the lungs and heart,
also goes through the kidneys, and if
they are in the least deranged they
cannot rid the blood of its killing
poison. The thousand little hair-like
sewer tubes of the kidneys very east
ly get blocked up and diseased; and
when they do, they corrupt instead
of purifying the blood. Kidney dis
ease may exist, and yet no pain occur
in that organ, because it is deficient
in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day
and it soon testers and is destroyed.
Send acid poisoned blood through
the lungs every second, and they soon
give away.
The Brompton Hospital investiga-
ton showed that 50 per cent. Of the
victims of consumption were afflicted
with deranged kidneys, which per.
mitted the uric acid poison to remain
in the blood and irritate the lungs
This uric acid is always fighting
every vital organ, and if there be
any inherent weakness in the lungs
it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough
and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary trou
bles being so authoritatively shown
to be faulty even though unsuspect

why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the bloot
